'For longer-lasting fake lashes, use hair extension glue.'
"For longer-lasting fake lashes, use hair extension glue." Yikes! What's meant for the hair on your head isn't appropriate for the hair on your eyelids, Wilson says. First and foremost, this is a bad idea because it isn't safe for your sensitive eyes, which could become damaged or infected if a smudge of glue gets inside. Wilson reminds fake eyelash lovers that they aren't meant to be worn more than a day. "I know the packaging states that it's good for several wears, which is true, but that actually means you are supposed to take them off at the end of the night, give them a cleaning and save for another day," she says. In addition to hygienic reasons, most hair extension glues contain latex, rubber and black hair dye as the main ingredient. "Most people happen to be allergic to at least one of the three ingredients. So do yourself a favor: if you really want long-lasting lashes, ditch the hair glue and get eyelash extensions done by a professional."
